Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in optical apparatus for use in an optical communication networks.
  • each user is provided with their own optical apparatus.
  • Information is sent to each user's optical apparatus from a piece of equipment on the network such as an optical line terminal OLT.
  • the OLT may be connected to each user's apparatus through a single fibre and an optical distribution node, which is typically a passive splitter in a conventional Passive optical network (PON) or a wavelength selective splitter in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) PON.
  • PON Passive optical network
  • WDM wavelength division multiplexing
  • the role of the user's optical apparatus is to send an optical signal- which the user can modulate with data - across the network for transmission to other equipment on the network. It will typically send that information to a central office.
  • the user apparatus may also function to read optical information sent to it from the network. This enables the user to send and receive data optically across the network.
  • ITU International Telecommunications
  • ONT optical network terminal
  • Wavelength division multiplexing is a very promising technology for optical communications networks due to the effective use of the network fibres. Relatively high upstream and downstream bandwidth can be provided compared with time division multiplexing. Wavelength multiplexing allows a single fibre to exit the central office carrying a plurality of different wavelength optical signals with the signals being subsequently split by a wavelength selective splitter for transmission along 4, 8, 16, 32, 40, 64 or 80 fibres, which are each connected to a respective item of user optical apparatus near the end of the communication path. In a WDM PON, different users are associated with different wavelengths.
  • WDM transport networks an example of a standard for a WDM-PON transport network being the 50GHz ITU-T grid standard.
  • Data carrying signals are transmitted upstream and downstream by the central office by modulating a set of continuous wave carrier signals which are spaced at intervals of 50GHz. Each signal is allocated uniquely to a user's optical apparatus.
  • a WDM PON requires each user to transmit information to the network on a different wavelength.
  • the optical apparatus provided for each user at their optical network termination has to be slightly different from that of each other user to enable the apparatus to transmit a signal at its unique allocated wavelength.
  • each piece of user optical apparatus has to include unique and/or complex componentry, making production costs high.
  • cost is a key driver.
  • the invention provides an optical apparatus for use in an optical communications network.
  • the apparatus comprises an input which is suitable for receiving a first continuous wave optical signal from a remote location on a network, and a modifying unit arranged to modify the first continuous wave optical signal to produce a second continuous wave optical signal having a wavelength which is different from the wavelength of the first continuous wave optical signal.
  • a modulating unit is arranged to modulate the second continuous wave optical signal with a data signal to produce a modulated second continuous wave optical signal.
  • a second continuous wave (CW) optical signal having a predefined wavelength from a first CW optical signal received from the network which has a different wavelength
  • modulating the second CW optical signal with data e.g. before sending the modulated signal across the network
  • the colour (i.e. the wavelength of the second CW optical signal) of the optical apparatus can be set by choosing the wavelength of the first CW optical signal.
  • Making the optical apparatus colorless in this way with the color or wavelength being set by the first CW optical signal supplied to the optical apparatus across the network, means many substantially identical apparatuses may be provided on a single WDM network, reducing costs compared with prior apparatus that are coloured (have a predefined wavelength of operation defined by the apparatus).
  • the modifying unit may comprise a first modulator and a signal generator adapted to generate a continuous wave modulating signal, the first modulator being adapted to modulate the first continuous wave optical signal with the continuous wave modulating signal.
  • the modulator may be adapted to amplitude modulate said first CW signal with the CW modulating signal to produce a set of at least three intermediate signals: a first intermediate signal having the same wavelength as the first continuous wave optical signal and two further intermediate signals which comprise sidebands of the first intermediate signal and are each spaced on a respective side of the first intermediate signal in the optical spectrum by an amount equal to the wavelength of the modulating signal.
  • This modification produces for the first time in the ONT the wavelength of the desired second CW signal.
  • the first modulator may be arranged to be polarisation insensitive and may also be arranged to work over the entire range of possible wavelengths that belong to the network grid. This last feature is useful because it allows the same optical apparatus to be given to any user whilst allowing a lot of freedom in the choice of wavelength of first CW optical signal that it is supplied with.
  • the modulating signal may be a radio frequency (RF) signal.
  • the modulating signal may have a wavelength equal to half of the spacing between adjacent data carrying wavelengths compatible with the network to which the apparatus is to be connected. For example, it may comprise a 25GHz tone when the apparatus is intended to be used on a 50GHz ITU grid.
  • the modifying unit may also include a first filter which removes from the output of the modulator the wavelength of the first CW optical signal to leave the two sidebands. This can be the first stage in a filtering process which separates out the sidebands from the original first CW wavelength.
  • the filter may be arranged to work over the entire range of optical wavelengths that belong to the network/ are on a wavelength grid assigned to the network. This can be achieved using a tunable filter or a periodic filter. The latter is preferred as it requires no modification for the apparatus to work at any wavelength that may be supplied to the user.
  • the first filter may comprise a first optical de-interleaver.
  • the first optical de-interleaver may be configured to deinterleave an input comb that comprises wavelengths that are twice the distance apart in the optical spectrum that the first CW signal is spaced apart from the desired second CW signal wavelength.
  • the first deinterleaver should deinterleave a 50GHz comb.
  • the result will be two wavelength output signal - one containing the first CW signal and the other the sidebands.
  • the first CW signal can thus be effectively filtered out from the sidebands.
  • the ONT may drop the output signal containing the first CW signal.
  • the modifying unit may further include a second filter which is arranged to receive the output from the first filter and is configured to remove one of the two sidebands to leave a single continuous wave signal which forms the second CW signal that is modulated by the data signal and is at the wavelength of one of the sidebands.
  • This second filtering stage picks out one of the sidebands and rejects the other.
  • the second filter may be arranged to work over any of the wavelengths that belong to the network.
  • a tunable filter or a periodic filter may be used.
  • the second filter may comprise an optical de-interleaver.
  • the use of the deinterleavers is preferred because it is possible to preserve the polarisation of the first CW signal in forming the second CW signal.
  • the modulating means may comprise a modulator, such as an electro absorption modulator (EAM) which receives the second wave CW and is amplitude modulated by the data signal to provide at its output the modulated second CW signal.
  • a modulator such as an electro absorption modulator (EAM) which receives the second wave CW and is amplitude modulated by the data signal to provide at its output the modulated second CW signal.
  • EAM electro absorption modulator
  • the input of the optical apparatus may include an optical circulator which receives the first CW optical signal and the modulated second CW optical signal which it sends back along the fibre from which the first CW signal was received. It could, of course, pass it onto the network along a different fibre if preferred.
  • the apparatus may include one or more amplifiers arranged to amplify the signals at various points in the apparatus as may be required.
  • the amplifier(s) may each comprise semiconductor optical amplifier(s). Such amplifiers can be readily configured to provide some pre-amplification to the optical signals whilst preserving polarity.
  • the apparatus may be arranged so that it is insensitive to the polarisation of the incoming first continuous wave optical signal.
  • the invention provides an optical communication system comprising an optical network, and optical apparatus according to the first aspect of the invention connected to the network.
  • An optical source can be located at a remote point on the optical network from the optical apparatus.
  • the ource can be arranged to produce a first continuous wave optical signal that is transmitted to the optical apparatus.
  • optical apparatus and the optical source may in some arrangements together be considered to part of a single, distributed, optical apparatus- one part of which is at the users location and the other part (the source) remotely located from that.
  • the optical source may be located at an optical line terminal (OLT) or a central office (CO) of the network.
  • OLT optical line terminal
  • CO central office
  • the system may include at least one optical fibre connecting the optical CW source and the optical apparatus, the first CW optical signal being sent along the fibre and the modulated signal being sent back along the same fibre across the network.
  • the optical source may generate a first CW optical signal which has a wavelength that is offset from a data carrying wavelength of the network, preferably by half of the spacing between allowable adjacent wavelengths. For example, where the combination defines a 50GHz ITU grid the first CW signal may be offset from one of the wavelengths belonging to that grid, preferably by 25GHz.
  • the tone signal may be produced which is equal to this offset.
  • the system may include more than one optical apparatus according to the first aspect of the invention and the optical source may produce more than one CW optical signal, each of a different wavelength and each offset from a wavelength belonging to the grid of the network.

  • the role of the optical apparatus 5 is to enable the user to transmit data onto the network fibre.
  • the apparatus 5 may also function to take data off the network which is sent to the user.
  • the network 100 operates in accordance with the 50GHz ITU-grid standard, with each of the optical apparatus 5 sending information across the network on a different wavelength from the other optical apparatus.
  • the set of wavelengths are spaced from a base wavelength by a multiple of 50GHz and as such each wavelength belongs to the 50GHz ITU-T grid.
  • FIG 2 shows four typical wavelengths of data carrying CW signals that may be emitted from the four optical apparatus 5. These four wavelengths may be 192.00 THz, 192.05 THz, 192.10 THz and 192.15THz. Of course a different set of four wavelengths could be used to suit the network. Because each user sends and receives data on a unique wavelength belonging to the grid the system is said to employ wavelength division multiplexing (WDM).
  • WDM wavelength division multiplexing
  • the OLT is provided with a set of optical sources, each one being associated with a user's optical apparatus 5 and emitting optical signals at a wavelength that is unique to each optical apparatus.

  • Preferably only a single wavelength signal is received by each apparatus 5.
  • the splitter may be a demultiplexer.
  • the wavelength of the optical signal that each optical apparatus 5 sends back across the network is dependent upon the wavelength of the signal sent to that optical apparatus 5.
  • the source generates 200 a first continuous wave signal 40 at a predetermined wavelength.
  • the wavelength is at a wavelength 25GHz spaced from the wavelength allocated to the optical apparatus.

  • Figure 3 shows how the four first continuous wave optical signals 40, 40 ',4O" and 40" (which are transmitted downstream to the apparatus 5), each at different wavelengths, interleave with the four modulated data signal wavelengths 60, 60', 60" and 60" produced by the four optical apparatus 5 (these wavelengths being used for upstream transmission along at least some of the same fibre as the downstream signals). As none of the wavelengths overlap there is no cross talk. Because the OLT is provided with the optical source that defines the wavelengths of each optical apparatus 5, the optical apparatus 5 can be considered to be colourless and could therefore be identical. This makes it easy to set up the system and add new users because they can all have identical optical apparatus. Further, manufacturing costs of the apparatus 5 can be relatively low.

  • a simplified schematic of an optical apparatus 5 is shown in Figure 5 to aid in understanding of the specific arrangement of Figure 4.
  • the optical apparatus 5 comprises four stages: an input 10, a modifying unit 20 including a signal generator 25 and a modulating unit 30.
  • the signal generator 25 is arranged to generate a modulating signal 80.
  • the signal 80 can be a RF (radio frequency) signal.
  • the input receives a first CW optical signal 40 sent to the apparatus from the network source and passes it to the modifying unit 20.
  • This unit 20 works, without using any internal optical sources, to alter the wavelength of the received first CW optical signal 40 to produce a second CW optical signal 50 of different wavelength e.g. by appropriate modulation of the signal 40 using the modulating signal 80.
  • Appropriate modulation techniques include amplitude modulation and SSB (single side band) modulation.
  • the received first CW optical signal 40 is preferably sent at a wavelength that is not on the network transmission wavelength grid and is preferably modified to produce a second CW optical signal 50 which is on the wavelength grid e.g. the 50GHz spaced grid.
  • This second CW optical signal 50 is then passed to the modulating unit 30 which modulates the signal 50 with data before it is sent across the network.
  • the optical apparatus 5 comprises an optical circulator 10 at its input, which receives the first CW optical signal 40 associated with that user optical apparatus from the central office 1 and passes the signal 40 to the modifying unit 20.
  • the modifying unit 20 comprises an optical pre-amplifier 24 and a modulator 21.

  • the signal 40 is passed to the modulator 21 , which in this embodiment is an electroabsorption modulator (EAM) 21.
  • EAM electroabsorption modulator
  • the apparatus 5 also includes a pulse tone generator 25 which generates a 25GHz RF continuous wave signal 80 that is used to modulate the first CW optical signal 40 as it passes through the EAM 21.
  • the output of the EAM 21 comprises a signal at the same wavelength as the first CW signal 40 and two further intermediate signals formed by the two sidebands in the optical spectrum, each 25GHz apart from the first CW optical signal 40. One will be 25GHz further up the spectrum and the other 25GHz down. Both of these wavelengths will typically belong to the 50GHz grid.
  • each of these sideband signals could be modulated using a data signal, with both resulting modulated signals transmitted back upstream carrying information from the apparatus 5. However, in this particular embodiment, only one of the sideband signals is used for upstream transmission, and the other sideband signal is filtered out (as will now be described).
  • the output of the EAM 21 is fed to the input of an optical deinterleaver 22.
  • this may be an interleaver connected in reverse.
  • This is a device for dividing a comb of input signals 25GHz apart (i.e. a signal consisting of a set of signals, with each signal spaced 25GHz from adjacent signals) into two output signals of combs of frequencies that are 50GHz apart.
  • the input comb comprises the two sidebands and the signal at the initial CW signal wavelength.
  • One output signal will contain the first CW signal, and the other output signal will contain the two intermediate-signals i.e. the two sidebands.

  • One of these signals is dropped leaving only a single CW signal 50 at a wavelength that is on the wavelength grid of the network.
  • the single CW signal 50 is then passed to the modulating unit 30 where it is modulated with data of a data signal by a modulator.
  • the modulating unit 30 comprises an EAM 31 for amplitude modulating the signals 50.
  • the resulting modulated signal 60 is then sent back upstream.
  • the signal 60 is passed to the circulator 10, for coupling back onto the same fibre that the first CW optical signal 40 was received from.
  • optical apparatus 5 shown in Figure 4 is that the polarisation of the incoming first CW optical signal 40 is not critical to the operation of the apparatus 5. It is also relatively inexpensive to implement, as the optical source is located remote from the apparatus 5 and the apparatus 5 is colourless. This allows many identical apparatus 5 to be deployed across the network.
  • the embodiment works for a 50GHz ITU-grid, it could also work for other wavelengths.
  • the first CW optical signal can be generated at the OLT to be a predetermined offset from the grid wavelengths, with the RF modulating signal matched to the predetermined offset, with the first de- interleaver being suitable for deinterleaving comb signals with spacing equal to twice the offset, and the second de-interleave being suitable for de- interleaving combs at four times the offset.
  • each apparatus 5 could contain any appropriate filter or filter system to replace the comb filters.
  • Each such filter or filtering system can be arranged to filter out the downstream signal 40 from the second CW signal 50.
  • the advantage of using comb filter de-interleavers is that the apparatus 5 can be colourless.
